TATA STEEL Hollow sections For structural and mechanical application

Hollow sections The benefits WHY HOLLOW SECTIONS? Steel hollow sections are the most versatile and efficient form for construction and mechanical applications. Many of the strongest and most impressive structures in the world today would not have been possible without hollow sections. The tubular form is inherently strong and efficient. It gives buildings a better strengthto-weight ratio than those using comparable steel, concrete or timber products. In construction, this strength-to-weight ratio reduces material usage and allows for greater spans. This results in lightweight, airy...

Hollow sections Sustainability The essential properties of steel make it a sustainable choice for a wide range of applications. Steel is strong, durable, versatile, reusable and, most importantly, it is 100 per cent recyclable. Benefits of using steel The steel industry provides a stable working environment for many workers compared to other employment sectors. Tata Steel recycles more than three million tonnes of steel scrap each year in the UK, saving CO2 emissions equivalent to those produced by almost a million households. Tata Steel has also reduced steel-making CO2 emissions by 50 per...

Steel has a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning that less material is required. This reduces cost and makes steel one of the cheapest construction options. Steel construction is quick which contributes to low labour costs and 100% quicker lead times on projects or work. The result of this is a faster return on investment. Steel is 100 per cent recyclable and retains its value and properties for life. The use of steel normally results in less disruption to the local community by way of noise pollution and vehicle movements. It also produces zero waste. Steel can also be easily demounted...
